Youtube, Target of violent videos

It is true that the videos most popular website Youtube has been very useful for millions of people. First it was a good site to hear music and watch the most recent videos, but later, it started to have more and more violent videos. How to forget when Sadam Jussain was sentenced to death and in hours hundreds of people were uploading the video that showed Jussain’s death.
Now it is very common to find street fights among teenagers, and what is more sad of all this, is the great quantity of videos that shows violence in school. When I saw for the first time in the news about this situation, I did not really give importance to it, but now I realize how this problem is. Also, it is becoming more often to see also terrible gunfights that involves deaths and hurt blooding people.
I know that this was not Youtube’s creator idea, and I am sure they do everything they can to keep this type of terrible videos out of their websites, but still, it is hard to watch the reality of this ugly world so close with this kind of uploads.
It is terrible that technology can bring us bad things like this ones, just think for a moment in the kids who navigate in the internet and find violence so easily, obviously they will not grown up normally, they could become violent, and all because some guys decided to put the “funny” video where they were hurting someone. This has to change, technology bring us good things but the reality is that is giving us more unnecessary and ugly things.
